So last night, Pertice, Gwen and Soura decided to take a litttle trip Tromso by steamboat. Presently we are on the Midnatsol, which is beautiful boat, taking us to Tromso. The trip will last us 12 hours. We are going through the sea which is an incredible view. It is like we are passing through these snow covered mountains and every once in a while we come across a few scattered houses and small communities. It makes us wonder about the history of each of these little towns and how they came to be. As we are on our journey, we are meeting more people and learning more about the traditions. I am sure some of the questions that we ask are making people laugh, but everyone is so kind and patient. The service on this boat is amazing. The internet is not so great, so hopefully this message will get posted without too many errors.
Last night all of us girls uploaded all of our pictures into Soura's computer and once we are able to get back to Hammerfest and go to the internet cafe, we will post some of those as well. Anyhow I only have a few minutes of log in time left so I'd better go. Until next time.

Hi girls! Wow, I love the blog, and I think it's great that you are recording all this. Did you know you can make the blog into a book when you are done? Karianne and I are wayyyy up here in Inuvik and having lots of fun. It's a great experience for us, and I can't wait to hear all your stories. Hope the weather is nicer in Norway, we have had -10 and flurries nearly every day. Talk or email soon!

Hello Ladies, I notice your steamboat's name is Midnatsol. This has to mean "midnight sun!" So I guess working in Norwegian must be a "stykke kake," right? My handy-dandy web translator says that means "a piece of cake." I'm guessing it's a challenge. I know you are all up to it. Carolynn (your librarian)
